My guest today is Dr Lynne Sedgmore CBE. Lynne held 3 Chief Executive roles within Further Education in the UK for 17 years, including Executive Director of the 157 Group of FE Colleges and Chief Executive of the Centre for Excellence in Leadership (known as CEL). A book ‘Spiritual Leadership in Action’ has been written by Professor Jody Fry about her time at CEL with the subtitle ‘Achieving Extraordinary Results Through Ordinary People’ Link to 'Spiritual Leadership in Action': https://www.amazon.co.uk/Spiritual-Leadership-Advances-Workplace-Spirituality-ebook/dp/B01N312ROP/ Link to 'The Leaderful Way' by Dr Lynne Sedgmore CBE https://storage.googleapis.com/voyage-resources/Public/Thought%20Leadership%20Papers/The%20Leaderful%20Way.pdf Link to 'The Luminary Leaderful Way' by Dr Lynne Sedgmore CBE https://wheresthefinleadership.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/201910_Luminary_Leaderful_Way.pdf Link to The Goddess Luminary Wheel Liberating Leadership course, two year training with Dr Lynne Sedgmore CBE https://goddesstempleteachings.co.uk/goddessluminary/ Dr Lynne Sedgmore CBE's email address if you want to contact her is: lynne.sedgmore@gmail.com Lynne was awarded the CBE by the Queen, for services to education in 2004. She was named one of the Debrett's 500 most influential people in the UK in 2015 and one of the UK " 100 women of Spirit" in 2016. Her organisations have won numerous national and international awards including the International Spirit at Work Award. It’s important to note that all the organisations led by her have achieved outstanding results. Indeed these results have allowed her and given her license to be a pioneer in putting her ideas regarding Conscious Leadership into practice. Lynne was a member of the Prime Minister’s UK wide national review of public sector leadership 2009/10 and was advisor to the 11 National UK Leadership Academies. Lynne has chaired and sat on numerous national and Ministerial public sector committees and advisory groups. She truly has lived and embodied the journey of spirituality and embodied it in the workplace for all to see and experience. A truly Conscious Leader in my view. In 2015 Lynne retired from the role of CEO of the 157 Group of FE colleges. I say ‘retired’, because Lynne is currently a coach, founder of the Goddess Luminary Wheel teachings, Poet, Interfaith Minister, Priestess, healer, non executive, thought leader and Enneagram teacher.

My guest today is John Renesch.  John has spent over half a century as a businessman/entrepreneur. He describes himself as an advisor, mentor, futurist and writer on matters of social and organizational change. He believes that commerce holds the key to bringing about a global shift of human consciousness, thus creating a future of tremendous possibility for humankind.

John was a founding member of The Conscious Leadership Guild, set up in 2018 The purpose of the Conscious Leadership Guild is to strengthen the competency and consciousness of its members in order to have more conscious leadership in place throughout the world.

The Great Growing Up carries a subtitle ‘Being Responsible for Humanity’s Future’  This seems so apt for our times now.
